Exploring hidden narratives: Conscript graffiti at the former military base of Kummersdorf
No full textThis article explores the cultural significance and interpretative potential of graffiti left by Soviet conscripts at Kummersdorf, a former military base in the German federal state of Brandenburg. The graffiti is framed as war art and its typology, distribution and content is studied in detail. In this way opportunities for further research are highlighted, as well as the potential for the graffiti to contribute to interpretative and conservation strategies. We demonstrate how the graffiti embodies multi-level interpretative narratives which can help to reveal hidden aspects of Soviet conscript life and cultural practices whilst alluding to global events and Soviet and Russian military policy. More generally, the article aims to promote the potential of graffiti and other forms of what is traditionally considered vandalism to contribute to the cultural significance and interpretation of heritage sites

Informática educativa trabalhando com portadores de condutas típicas
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Este trabalho tem como questão central a análise dos processos de desenvolvimento de indivíduos com condutas típicas, mediados pelo uso do computador. O objetivo básico é criar oportunidades para que os portadores de condutas típicas desenvolvam integralmente suas potencialidades, integrando-se como sujeitos na comunidade. Propõe-se, ainda, analisar as representações dos professores do Projeto: Informática Educativa no Ensino Especial, voltado para a linha distúrbio de comportamento, sobre a utilização de computadores e verificar como eles se percebem no processo de implantação e do uso desta tecnologia em sala de aula, contribuindo para implementar inovações sugeridas como plano estratégico da instituição. Este estudo teve como metodologia básica, um estudo de caso, realizado em duas escolas de educação especial. Como resultado, podem-se destacar algumas questões importantes, tais como: a necessidade do envolvimento de todos os membros da equipe reunidos em torno de um propósito; a necessidade de se garantir condições básicas para um projeto desse porte, tais como - equipamentos, mudança curricular, preparação continuada da equipe; os avanços alcançados pelos alunos de condutas típicas na mediação do processo pelo uso do computador. Este estudo levanta uma questão crucial para as escolas de educação especial, em relação a utilização de tecnologias avançadas, não conseguindo porém, responder todas as indagações existentes sobre o tema, mas limita-se a indicar algumas alternativas e abre espaço para novos trabalhos

Elevated hepatic gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity and abnormal sulfate levels in liver and muscle tissue may explain abnormal cysteine and glutathione levels in SIV-infected rhesus macaques
No full textTo establish whether the low cysteine and glutathione levels in HIV-infected patients and SIV-infected rhesus macaques may be consequences of an abnormal cysteine catabolism, we analyzed sulfate and glutathione levels in macaques. Muscle tissue (m. vastus lateralis and m. gastrocnemius) of SIV-infected macaques (n = 25) had higher sulfate and lower glutathione and glutamate levels than that of uninfected controls (n =9). Hepatic tissue, in contrast, showed decreased sulfate and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) levels, and increased gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS) activity. These findings suggest drainage of the cysteine pool by increased cysteine catabolism in skeletal muscle tissue, and by increased hepatic glutathione biosynthesis. Cachectic macaques also showed increased urea levels and decreased glutamine/urea ratios in the liver, which are obviously related to the abnormal urea excretion and negative nitrogen balance commonly observed in cachexia. As urea production and net glutamine synthesis in the liver are strongly influenced by proton-generating processes, the abnormal hepatic urea production may be the direct consequence of the cysteine deficiency and the decreased catabolic conversion of cysteine into sulfate and protons in the liver
Demography and Domination in Southeast Asia
No full textThis chapter tackles the demographic and comparative deficit [of the reader] by giving a broad background to Southeast Asian populations, and to colonial and imperial forces in Southeast Asia, with a focus on the period 1800-2000. No doubt the level of sophistication would scandalise a statistician. But the broad brush picture will be sound, and that is the one that interests us

Imperial Systems of Power, Colonial Forces, and the Making of Modern Southeast Asia
No full textWhy do colonial subjects choose to enlist and to court death under the command of officers who come from thousands of miles away? Under what conditions do they stay loyal? When, why and with what results do they revolt?
Questions such as these can be answered only with the greatest diffculuty. In part this is because comparative work on colonial forces is rare, restricted to a few short introductions to edited volumes, whose collections of articles at first seem to invite contrast, rather than comparison. This is compounded by a second problem: the careless use of concepts. the terms colonial armies, colonialism and imperialism have been employed so loosely as to spread confusion. For this reason, we must begin by examining the terminology surrounding "colonial armies" and what we call "imperial systems of power"
